Who's Your Favorite Front Non "Film" Bra..??

Now I have 3M Film on the wheel wells and lower door jimmy jams and across the rear deck spoiler & mirrors. But after two attempts by my Vinyl guy, him and I both gave up on the install of the front bra nose sectiom. To Big of a PINA..!!

I know " GM JUNKIE" is the man for the install on that part..(Took Him 5 Hours on the last one he did).. but no way am I driving down south from Joisey. So...I'm thinking just a regular Bra on ..Bra Off type Bra. Since 3M dumped the "3M Film Paint Protection Line" ..I gave up on using that for nose protection.

I'm doing Corvettes at Carlisle this year followed by a direct drive to Bowling Green for the 15th Bash. So..I'll need a Bra for the open road to keep them their Southern baseball size bugs & boulders from ripp-en up the front end of my new 09.

Anyway.. their's a ton of those strap on bra's on the market from $99.00 to $500.00 .... Which one do you guys like the best and why..??

Correction!! The second one took about 3 1/2 and last one took a little over 2 hours!!
I'm getting better,but not richer!!
It's still a pain in the Donkey!!!

It's got so it seems to me that the Internet has created a lot more Horses A$$'s than we have Horses!

My personal Opinion,I don't like a Bra on my car!! Been There,Done That on other cars in the past!! Seams like to me that they get dirt,sand and even small rocks under them and I never could keep them tight enough to keep them from scuffing,marring and damaging the paint!! My 03 C5 has close to 63,000 miles and only has 3-4 small chips,(So small you will have to get on your hands and knees to find them!!) I've found that staying out in front and not running the nose up somebody's butt helps keep from getting chips and broken windshields!!

Yep That's the ticket... I had my 86 for 20 years and only had a few tiny
chips that were fixed up with GM Touch up paint.
I'm only concerened about the long interstate trips coming up.

I got the Speed Lingerie for my '08 in silver to match. It goes on for long trips like Caravan 2009 and comes off other wise. Ain't cheap but it stays on at speed and you can get it through the National Corvette Museum's store with a discount if you're a member.

The Speed Lingerie bra is a PITA to stretch and get hooked on the fender mounts but once there, it doesn't move. I put an extra coat or 2 of C-Magic on the nose and press on.

If the bra gets wet on the trip and I have time to take it off and let is dry, I do and I brush the dirt and bug stuff off the back side before putting it back on.

When it warms up, I'll put the GM Corvette splash guards on the rear edges of the fenders to protect them.

Thanks for the Reply Tuna,

I am a Member of the Vette Museum ... so If I go for it I'll check out their price. As Stated... I'm only concerned with the up-coming Carlisle & BG trip and any future long distance haul's.

The installation is easy, I did mine in about 30minutes first time out. You need to stretch the cover over the nose so don't be shy when putting it on. I detailed that part in another post here on nose covers.
